I found a set of used low profile shocks and put them on this weekend, big difference in the footing, ride seemed ok for the short time I got to put in, didn't put my girlfriend on yet, it was nice to be flatfooted in sneakers.....
they way the bike stands now, I have a modified seat and the low shocks, and I feel comfortable on it, I guess when the spring weather comes and I really start riding again, I will decide if I like this and lower the front, or go back to the stock shocks and tipeetoe....
thanks for your help
